Captain Paul Watson, and Sea Shepherd are Free to Return to the Faroe Islands in 2015
Denmark Puts a Lid on Attempts by the Faroese to Implement Authoritarian Measures
In an attempt to undermine freedom in their own country, 29 of the 33 members of the Faroese Løgting (parliament) voted in December to ban Sea Shepherd volunteers from coming to the Faroe Islands. After Sea Shepherd’s successful campaign to protect pilot whales and dolphins this past summer, Operation GrindStop 2014, Faroese politicians decided to take the drastic move to stop further Sea Shepherd intervention by simply banning Sea Shepherd volunteers from the Faroes. This move certainly illustrated that many Faroese politicians have acknowledged the effectiveness of Sea Shepherd’s campaigning.
This law of course would be a blatantly discriminatory policy that would ban people for their beliefs. However, this did not concern 29 of the Faroese legislators with their blind obsession to defend the slaughter of pilot whales and dolphins at all costs.
